About Edinburgh
Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The city is basically split into two main districts - the Old Town and the New Town, with Princes Street Gardens separating them. The surrounding areas offer an array of places to visit.
Medieval buildings share the pavements with striking modern structures, century old craftsmanship combined with cutting edge fashion and the people of the world mingle in the city's original pubs and contemporary restaurants to create a truly dynamic capital city. The Scottish capital's long and rich history is brought to life by its famous cliff-top castle. Home to the Scottish Parliament, the city bursts with festivity during Hogmanay in the winter and the legendary Edinburgh Festival in the summer. |
